HISTORY

Libyan Arab Airlines began as Kingdom Of Libya Airlines using Caravelle jets to Europe in the 1960s. They operated Boeing 727 s on European services during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The London Heathrow service was stopped in the 1980s due to political problems. Boeing 707 s were used on long-haul services.


1980'S

After the bombing of the Pan Am Boeing 747 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 by Libyan terrorists, the United Nations imposed sanctions on Libya, similar to those imposed on Iraq . Because of that, for a little more than ten years, the airline was forced to fly only to domestic destinations using old aircraft. After the sanctions were lifted, international commercial aviation contacts with that country began to be re-established, and at the same time, Libyan Arab Airlines began to re-establish its name in the international market.


FUTURE PLANS


The airline is beginning to return to its position as a prominent Arab airline flying to Europe's major airports. The airline is also seeking to modernise its fleet {Link without Title} .
